Speaker Boehner: Stop Pursuing Contempt Charges Against AG Holder

Do not bring Contempt of Congress charges against AG Holder to a vote.

Why is this important?

Nancy Pelosi on CSPAN: "Make no mistake, the Republicans are going after Eric Holder, because he is fighting the Republicans' voter suppression efforts!" And after AG Holder refused to turn over subpoenaed records that would have compromised the safety of border agents, Mexican officials, and others, the House Oversight committee voted along party lines to hold him in contempt of Congress. President Obama has invoked executive privilege in order to further protect those involved. Yet Speaker Boehner vows to hold a vote of the full House next week and has the power to imprison the Attorney General when it passes.
